If you are working more than 16 hours per week (or 24 hours per week if you are part of a couple) then you won't receive the maximum LHA rate but will still receive some LHA if your income is low enough.

Bedrooms allowed when calculating LHA

The maximum number of bedrooms you are allowed under the LHA rules is 4.

You are assessed as needing a bedroom for each:

adult couple

member of a couple who can't share a bedroom because of a disability

single person aged 16 or over (including lodgers, friends or relatives)

disabled child under 16 who can't share a room because of their disability

2 children of the same sex under 16

2 children of either sex under 10

any other child

A child in the armed forces who is away on duty and who lived with you before they went away still counts as needing a bedroom if they intend to return.

An extra bedroom is allowed if you need one for a:

foster child or children

non-resident carer (or team of carers) who regularly stays overnight to provide care to you or another household member because of a disability
